there is a better version of this called panic which not only closes your pages but also opens another set page!

I really dig this add-on. Essential at the workplace. Works well in FF 3.1b3 as well. Haven't had any problems.

In a heavy work environment onscreen it is sometimes necessary to minimize only all the browser windows - I often need this and this fits the bill nicely. Just so you know its not only useful for panicky covert needs - its actually a useful work tool.thanks!

Awesome add-on!`

It is really amazing how you can just hide all windows with one click or a button. Although, I would like to recommend that you should put an option to delete history in the toolbar and close the current tab. Thanks.

First of all, yours is the only 'boss key' extension that works properly by actually closing ALL windows including Java pop up windows! Can we have an option though to turn off the screen 'restore' buttons that are left behind on the screen? Use of a restore hotkey instead (as an option) would be very useful. Someone with an 'eagle eye' will spot those buttons! Also, can we have the ability to change the 'hotkey' itself and add the 'button' to the status bar instead / as well as the toolbar.

RE: Extremely useful!

@S R: The request to close the current tab is already possible and easy to do without further enhancement to Panic Button. Click the 'x' on the tab or press ctrl-w to 'hide' it, then restore the tab by pressing ctrl-shift-t or select History | Recently Closed Tabs.

Extremely useful!

This is just great! Even with my very slow computer, this gets the job done almost instantly.

The option to hide only the current tab with a separate shortcut should be added in the next update, if possible.

updated review

Hide feature works ok now, thanks. Toolbar image doesn't change though. Be better if could restore with either keypress or mouse press and no toolbar was visible (return only with keypresses). Thanks for working on this! It's a good idea.

good but not 3.0 compatable :(

sounds greatbut i got 3.0whenever my girlfriends walks in i'm always panicking to close down windows that i shouldnt have openthis add-on could be used at home as well as at work, although the idea of a company other than firefox themselves having a firefox browser puzzles me, as most companies would just use IE or safari or linux browsers that come with the computeri cant wait 'till this gets upgraded to work on firefox 3.0still i think it's a good ideaplease get it to work on 3.0
